INFORMATION:

In keeping with my philosophy of making, all of my table runners, scarves and pillows are ONE-of-a-KIND designs. I care about creative individuality. I hope my customers do as well.

As a textile artist, my intention is to present a point of view that highlights ordinary snippets of daily life. I approach this work by balancing material and concept - one inspiring the other. Each new series begins with found or appropriated textile and text-based materials from my collections. While all cast-off materials are imbued with their own history, they also present new intriguing narratives.

About Me

I hand-weave TABLE RUNNERS and MATS using colorful natural fibers and re-cycled materials: natural reeds, grasses, braided straw, and wood veneer. I add edge trims of traditional cloth from many world cultures.
FUSION de MAYA SCARVES, SHAWLS, and DECORATIVE PILLOWS. I design colorful striped textiles that are produced in two Mayan backstrap-loom weaving cooperatives in the Highlands of Guatemala - Asociación Maya de Desarrollo Cooperativa in Sololá and. Mayan Foundation in Panajachel. These are Fair-Wage/Fair Trade co-ops.As a customer of the coops I proudly support Mayan weavers with income opportunities and sustains important Mayan textile traditions.
